Cyber-Resilience: Seven Steps for Institutional Survival

"Cyber-Resilience: Seven Steps for Institutional Survival", by William Arthur Conklin et Dan Shoemaker, EDPACS Journal, pp.14-22, March 2017.  
Le thème de la résilience est d'actualité, à la mode dirons-nous, venant ainsi ajouter aux longs débats sur la dissuasion ou l'attribution. 

An Uneven Playing Field: The Advantages of the Cyber Criminal vs. Law Enforcement-and Some Practical

"An Uneven Playing Field: The Advantages of the Cyber Criminal vs. Law Enforcement-and Some Practical", SANS Institute, 2002, 17 pages. Cet article qui date de 2002 évaluait la nature du déséquilibre existant entre cybercriminels et forces de police et justice, à l'avantage des premiers. Le texte pourra être relu à la lumière de 15 années d'expérience. Force est de constater que les quelques recettes formulées alors, et toujours d'actualité, pour limiter la puissance de la cybercriminalité, n'ont guère porté leurs fruits (les statistiques font chaque année état d'une hausse exponentielle du crime): former les personnels de la justice, de la sécurité, des directions; adapter la loi; coopération (public-privé, mais aussi au sein des institutions et divers niveaux de l'organisation des Etats, du pouvoir central aux régions; sensibilisation du public...)

Speech TALLINN MANUAL 2.0 – Minister Koenders

Discours du Ministre Koenders (13 février 2017) à l'occasion de la parution du Manuel de Tallinn version 2.0 (publié par Cambridge University Press). " ... cyberspace is not simply a jungle, where the strong do what they want and the weak suffer what they must. The law applies there just as it does elsewhere. Especially in times of tension and conflict, the law should not be silent."

The Convergence of Information Warfare

"The Convergence of Information Warfare", by Martin Libicki, Strategic Studies Quarterly, Spring 2017, pp.49-65. 
Abstract: If information technology trends continue and, more importantly, if other countries begin to exploit these trends, the US focus on defeating a cyberwar threat will have to evolve into a focus on defeating a broader information warfare threat. It is far less plausible to imagine a cyber attack campaign unaccompanied by other elements of information warfare—in large part because almost all situations where cyber attacks are useful are those which offer no good reason not to use other elements of information warfare. Thus the various elements of information warfare should increasingly be considered elements of a larger whole rather than separate specialties that individually support kinetic military operations.
